Well she got a hold of a permanent marker and guess who lost that battle? Yep the white table. It isn't too bad but this momma notices and it drives me crazy. So I decided to make a tablecloth. I really didn't want to go out and buy fabric so I decided to look at our stash of sheets (I may or may not have a problem with stashing sheets) and found one that I loved. So I got started! First things first...I know how to sew but this time I just didn't feel like doing it so I used my trusty stitch witchery. If you have never used it, I promise you will fall in love!
First I draped the sheet over the table to see exactly where I would make my cuts.
I then took the scissors and cut the sheet around the table. I made sure to cut it a bit longer to make room for hemming with the stitch witchery.
Then it was time to iron! This is what stitch witchery looks like if you are interested.
Once the iron is nice and hot, you place the stitch witchery in between the folded fabric to make your edge.
Then place the iron over each spot for about 10 sec. Its as easy as that! I know.
I know I need a new iron board cover. I promise it is not dirty. It is just extremely old!
Here is the finished product!!
I rounded the edges to give it more of a finished look. I love it and the best part is I can throw it in the wash when my precious monsters decide to get spaghetti sauce all over it!
Cost:
sheet- $7
stitch witchery- $2
Total= $9
There is no way that I could find one that cheap while shopping. Plus now I have one that fits my table perfectly!!
